Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — great app *2020-10-26* the app is great, I just wish I could hide the “featured post” section as it’s a bit intrusive ### 5/5 — Incredible App for Daily Tech News *2020-09-05* What better way to stay up to date with your tech news than an app that has all the current information for you.

Can you tell us what device you are viewing the app on and we can have the team look into it. Thanks for taking the time to review the app. ### 2/5 — Scrolling only one page? *2023-08-05* How do I scroll past the first “page” of stories? You can’t expect me to not doom-scroll away my morning… ### 4/5 — Great App! *2021-07-19* Awesome app. My two gripes are some formatting isn't correct like quotes showing up " instead of “. The second is I wish I could start on top stories. Unless theres a settings page then I cant find it 😅. Would recommend **Developer response:** Thanks for the review Philly. We will have the team look into the formatting issues. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2022-10-27, version 5.4* Excellent Hacker News client. The only thing missing is the capability to submit via the application. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-10-27, version 5.4* A smooth, 120Hz-spinning scrolling experience modern Native iOS features, and a modern and clean user interface. It's basically everything I want from an Hackernews client. ### 5/5 — Life Saver!!!!! *2022-10-27, version 5.4* Hacker News is uncluttered and extremely elegantly constructed. Its interface is easy to use and the transitions are smooth and smooth. The developer is friendly and responsive. As the best, I can tell it's the only Hacker News client to offer the option of backing up bookmarks. Overall, it was a good experience. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-10-27, version 5.4* The clean UI design is extremely comfortable to use. It includes everything I like in a Hacker News app, but it's missing login and comments features (so far? I'm not sure if that's true) This could be a major issue for certain. It's also a bit difficult to see the top stories of the past X hours/ weeks or days although it's not an issue. Overall, it's a great Hacker News reader app -perhaps the most popular app on the market. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-10-27, version 5.4* I have a Surface Duo 2 that has a hinge in the middle. It would be amazing to have the layout altered to ensure you can see the contents view located on the right of the screen! ### 5/5 — Review *2022-10-27, version 5.4* Fantastic application! The user interface is very nice and requires only minimal interaction. The way that articles are displayed is nice and easy to read because of the night mode feature. ### 5/5 — Amazing Hacker News app *2022-10-27, version 5.4* I really enjoyed the app. It's simple and with lots of options, but I did not like its default options (but that's the reason there's a setting) The only downside to the app is that it does no visual feedback provided to the user when you have upvoted an article or comment such as a thumbs-up green after you've already voted the post. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-10-26, version 5.4* I love this application immensely, the user design is elegant and sleek, and extremely functional. I use it daily to check out Hacker News which is why I cannot be more grateful to the developer for making such a wonderful reader! ### 5/5 — I love it!!! *2022-10-25, version 5.4* Excellent: Great application. Clean and tidy interface, and great custom animations.

If you are looking for a simple HN app with daily push notifications. This one is for you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
